What is E911?

• Enhanced 9-1-1 (E911), is a system which routes an emergency call to the appropriate 9-1-1 Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) for the caller's location, AND automatically displays the caller's phone number, address and location within the address.

• Over 5,000 PSAP’s in the US

5

With or Without E911• With E911

– E9-1-1 delivers a detailed location to 9-1-1 dispatchers e.g.

– “Bldg A RM 704”

– Essential for multi-floor buildings and campuses

– Enables location description down to the desktop if needed

• Without E911– Callers dialing 9-1-1 will send main billing telephone number and billing address; no specific location

– No external alerts to security

– No location determination when phone moves

6

ANI/ERL and ELIN/ERL + NENA II

7

• What is ALI/ERL?– Automatic Location Identification (ALI) = Emergency Response Location (ERL)

– Provides the Public Safety Answering Point with the location information of the caller for emergency personnel

• What is ANI/ELIN?– Automatic Number Identification (ANI) = Emergency Location Identification Number (ELIN).

– It is basically the ten-digit number of the 911 caller.

– It could be the caller’s actual DID number or one that represents the floor or room location of the caller.

• What does the data include?– Information compiled into the required NENA II format file:

Phone Number Street DirectionalLocation (up to 19 characters) Street NameCompany Name/Building Name City, State, Zip Code

Key Drivers for E911• Government Legislation – 18 States require E911 for enterprises

• Companies want to protect their employees; Companies can be liable for damages if employees are injured or die

• Every Company has had an incident where someone has dialed 9-1-1 and:

– Nobody knew that they called

– Emergency responders showed up at the wrong building

• OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Act)

E911 State Legislation

10

To date, 18 states * have adopted legislation to

Regulate 911 service as it applies to Multi Line

Telephone Systems (MLTS) or PBXs. Some states

now require Enterprises and/or residential MLTS

operators to ensure that when a user calls 911 on their

system, ANI (Automatic Number Identification) and

ALI (Automatic Location Identification) are provided to

the PSAP (Public Safety Answering Point).

*Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana,

Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, Texas,

Vermont, Virginia & Washington

SolutionsE911 Manager® Version 6.5• Enterprise software solution • Can be deployed on premise or in the cloud• Integrates with your IP voice platform to automatically track all hard phone, softphone and Wi-Fi phone

• Supports distributed enterprises, mobile softphone users and remote teleworkers• Accepts 9-1-1 call via PSTN, SIP via MPLS cloud or IPsec over the Internet

11

The Limitations of Traditional E9-1-1• Contact LEC (Local Exchange Carrier) to make location changes

• Takes 24 hours for a location to be updated (not “real-time”)

• Each LEC territory requires a separate PS-ALI Contract

• Requires local trunking/gateway at each location

• Location often based on main/billing phone number (BTN) and corporate address

• No onsite notification

12

Advantages of E911 Anywhere®• Very Cost Effective

– Priced on the number of ELINs/ERLs, not phones/devices– USA and Canadian coverage– Reduces the need for Local Trunks– Reduces the need for Multiple PS-ALI accounts

• A “real-time” network– Updates locations in real time– Supports mobile softphone and UC users on laptops with MyE911® and softphone users on

smartphones with MyE911 for Mobile® 13
